Data quality

Summary

The dataset has minor issues that should not interfere with most uses. They include:

  • The field tender/procedure/features contains a large number of missing values
  • The fields tender/value and award/value contain extremely large values (e.g., 999999999999.99) which may be caused by data entry errors
  • An abnormally high share of tender and award values contain the specific values of 1 EUR or 0.01 EUR, possibly due to data entry errors or system configuration issues

JSON

Each contracting process is represented as one line of JSON text in the .jsonl file.

The .jsonl file is compressed using Gzip. Windows users need 7-Zip, WinRAR or WinZip to decompress the .gz file.
